You would be amazed at the amount of unsolved problems that Intelligence as a mechanism helps solve. Goals would still be abound as that is the Consequence of maintaining a highly entropic system. It would be more interesting bluntly.

I certainly don't think solving problems is really helpful any more. It's become an industrialized enterprise towards mindless economic growth. We need to focus less on solving complex technical problems to make resource-use more efficient and focus more on sustainability, which certainly does not require AI.
But can help and be accelerated by such. As this has been the tune for a long time as things have been presented as being solved. A wild west is how you open back up marketplaces to solve these issues. Especially as those issues are fundamental towards handling a rapid rise of productivity/entropy. This is the challenge of now. And intelligence as a mechanism is an actionable route, versus waiting for people to change perspective. Especially as the question can be whether the current now is capable of even handling an increased amount of Entropy. In addition that rise of Productivity is Unavoidable.
